[R] ESRI Shapefile for EU-25

[Albrecht Kauffmann]

Hi all,

who knows how to get an ESRI Shapefile for the NUTS-2 Regions of the
enlarged European Union? Particularly I want to draw maps of Germany,
Poland, Czech Republik, Hungary and Austria. I've found Shapefiles for the
US, Russia and other countries elsewhere in the web, but for Europe it
seems really difficult.

With many thanks for any hint
Albrecht
